I had never heard of that, but apparently there's a
/usr/share/emacs/24.0.90/etc on my system which contains images, READMEs
and other misc files. It's also described in the "data-directory"
variable in Emacs:

    data-directory is a variable defined in `C source code'.
    Its value is "/usr/share/emacs/24.0.90/etc/"

    Documentation:
    Directory of machine-independent files that come with GNU Emacs.
    These are files intended for Emacs to use while it runs.

So I guess it can't hurt to add this.

However there is something annoying in the commit:

+# The directory to which emacs lisp files should be installed
+emacsetcdir=3D${EMACSETCDIR}

$EMACSETCDIR is not for emacs lisp files (that's what $EMACSLISPDIR is
for), so this line needs be fixed.
